It’s Wheel of Fortune, America’s Game and we’re posting the Bonus Puzzle with the winner’s final prize amount. By way of comparison, the Jeopardy! payoff is also included with a link to the recap of that game.

Theme: Happy New Year

Mon 12-28-20: $14,800
On Jeopardy: $28,900

Sabrina spun the Wheel for a possible million, then she only got an A out of her letters.
_ N _ _ F _ H _ S _ D A _ S ,
this unlucky trend will end but it wasn’t today. Sabrina lost out on an extra $38,000.

On Jeopardy: $34,401

Jason got 2 D’s out of the letter he chose. Pat sure thought those D’s were the
_ A G I _ _ E Y _ O _ N L O _ _
this solution but Jason was not familiar with this particular expression. As he so often does lately, Pat had an uncollectible $38,000 card.

On Jeopardy: $34,401

Renee added two H’s, one D and two O’s to the bonus puzzle. That was pretty good! What followed, however, was pretty bad. More accurately,
_ T W A _ _ _ M P _ Y _ N _ R E D _ B _ E
It’s beginning to look like that $38,000 card is a big jinx!

Thu 12-31-20: $17,100
On Jeopardy: $250K (tournament finale)

Elizabeth only got one H out of her letter. Even so, it looked like she had a better chance than her predecessors this week with
A T _ O _ O R _ _ U _ _ L E
But her choice for the last word was one letter off. That made it too difficult to get to the right one in 10 seconds. So we will have to look to 2021 for someone to win $38,000 or more (or less, if it’s a vehicle).

Fri 1-1-21: $55,297
On Jeopardy: $12,801

Megan didn’t get any of the letters she selected. Zero. None. Nada. It sure didn’t look like she was going to be the one to
_ R _ A K T H _ D _ Y _ P _ L L
but she got it right away on her first guess. Megan added $38,000 to the $17,297 she had already won.
